In theory at least they will be, yes, because angular bearings are better at taking non-axial loads . In practice I suspect the difference will be marginal if any, and angular bearings will need to have the preload set carefully. Setting the preload on Rotor 3D+ cranks isn't hard or difficult, but it will need to be done right or the angular contact bearings will eat themselves.
